Meet the Business Owner

Jenifer R.

Business Owner

Since moving to the Westchester burbs in 1997, Jenifer has been making things happen. Jenifer opened Red Wing Gallery on Main Street in Tarrytown in 2000 and soon after launched the very successful Tarrytown Third Friday event, a monthly arts/​culture/​commerce soirée that included changing themes, 45 participating merchants and even ice sculpting with a chainsaw every December (www​.tar​ry​town​third​fri​day​.com). As the poster child for helping to revitalize a sleepy downtown, Third Friday led to interest from numerous other area villages seeking advice and assistance in producing their own events, which is when Jenifer Ross Consulting was born. Jenifer has consulted with Dobbs Ferry, Hastings-​On-​Hudson, Cold Spring and other local groups to create their own tailored festivities. After closing the gallery in 2004, she worked as Assistant Village Administrator for the Village of Tarrytown, Director of Development for Warner Library, and as Downtown Coordinator for the Village of Sleepy Hollow
